New trust account scam -- beware!

1. Lawyer receives large unexpected deposit to trust account.

2. Someone phones lawyer. Says it was a mistake. Requests refund.

3. Lawyer sends refund.

GOTCHA!

4. Unscrupulous scammer then revokes original deposit.

Watch out for this one. Some deposits can be revoked, apparently. Even wires.

What? A lawyer a victim of a scam? That's a switch.
